CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL
SPEED MEN'S CLUB GIVES COMMUNITY THREE DAYS OF FUN IN STOCK HOUSE
Under the auspices of the Speed Men's Club a Christmas Carnival was held in the new bag house on December 25, 26 and 27, attended by large crowds. The second and third floor of this 180 foot by 75 foot building were turned over to the Speed Men's Club for their party, which ran Christmas day from 2 p. m. to 12 p. m., and the two days following from 5 p. m. to 12 p. m.
Part of the building was roped off making a roller skating rink for the children. A bowling alley, shooting gallery and baby rack afforded amusement for the men.
A horizontal pole was the scene of many pillow fights between boys and men both. At the north end of the building a stage had been set, on which each night a splendid free entertainment was given, including singing, dancing, pie eating contests, speaking, etc.
A large Christmas tree stood in the northwest corner and on the second night of the Carnival Santa Claus came down the chimney with a present for every girl and boy under the age of 10 years.
One novel feature of the Carnival was the Mystery Booth in which the young men could purchase kisses.
A refreshment stand serving cold drinks and ice cream was operated by the Men's Club, while the Speed Parent-Teachers' Association ran a lunch counter, serving sandwiches, coffee and the famous Speed Doughnuts.
A local orchestra was on duty each night and as the music was good and the crowd was in holiday spirits, a dance ensued.
SKATING AND COASTING
While this extremely cold weather has been rather disagreeable to the Milltown adults, with thin blood and cold feet who are obliged to fetch in coal to keep the embers hot in the coal stoves and furnaces, it has been fine for the younger generation with their skates and sleds coasting down some of the seven hills of Milltown and skating from the old flour mill to the Power House of the Louisville Cement Co., a distance of approximately two miles over fine clear ace. While there have been a few cracked heads and black eyes due to unavoidable accidents there have been to date, no serious injuries.
BIRTHS
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Newton Broady on Wednesday, December 17th, a boy named Morman Asa.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Scifres on Monday, December 22nd, a boy named Glenn Leroy.
TEMPLE VISITED
On December 15th Mrs. Albert Quebberman, Mrs. Martin Hecker and Mr. and Mrs. Elias Dold visited Jeffersonville Temple No. 425. All reported a good time.
